Morning Star, August 1, 1999, pg. 22
Local news, week ending August 3, 1899: "Never was the community more shocked and saddened than on last Friday evening, when word was passed from mouth that the body of Dr. Elizabeth Palmer had been found in Brockway's Woods on the eastern outskirts of the city. Mrs. Palmer left her home on W. Erie Street at about 7 o'clock on Thursday evening, purchased some strychnine at one of the city drug stores, and was seen to walk east on Porter Street and then to the gate leading to the woods mentioned above..." From our Historical Notebook this week we present a photograph of Dr. Elizabeth Palmer, Albion's first woman school board member. Brockway's property is now Victory Park and the Albion College Athletic Field.
